In a single-slit diffraction experiment, the width of the slit is made double the original width. How does this affect the size and intensity of the central diffraction band?

Answer»

SOLUTION :When slit width .a. is DOUBLED, angular width (and, CONSEQUENTLY, the linear width too) of central diffraction band GIVEN by `theta=pm(lamda)/(a)` is reduced to one-half of its previous value.
Consequently, the amplitude of light for central diffraction band will become twice of its previous value and as a result, the new intensity will be 4 times the original value.

(a) A closed loop is held stationary in the magnetic field between the north and south poles of two permanent magnets held fixed. Can we hope to generate current in the loop by using very strong magnets ?(b) A closed loop moves normal to the constant electric field between the plates of a large capacitor. Is a current induced in the loop (i) when it is wholly inside the region between the capacitor plates (ii) when it is partially outside the plates of the capacitor? The electric field is normal to the plane of the loop. (c) A rectangular loop and a circular loop are moving out of a uniform magnetic field region (Figure) to a field-free region with a constant velocity v. In which loop do you expect the induced emf to be constant during the passage out of the field region? The field is normal to the loops.

Answer»

Solution :(a) No. We can obtain induced CURRENT by change in magnetic flux linked with coil. Here coil is stationary hence flux will not change.
(b) We can not have any induced current in either of TWO given cases because here magnetic flux does not exist. Hence, there can not be any change of magnetic flux.
(c) For RECTANGULAR loop, induced emf is `epsilon` = Bvl which can be taken constant till it comes out of the FIELD perpendicularly, because here alongwith B and v, l also remains constant whereas in case of circular loop, length l is initially increasing and later it is decreasing. See the figure given below. Hence, in this case induced emf does not remain constant.

(d) Here, because of motion of two given magnets, magnetic flux towards R.H.S. goes on increasing with time. Hence, according to Lenz.s law, induced current should flow clockwise in the loop containing capacitor, as SEEN from right to left. So electric current should flow anticlockwise i.e. plate A will lose the electrons and plate B will gain the electrons. Such flow of electrons will make plate A positive with respect to plate B.

Solution :Given is an unbalanced Wheatstones. bridge, in which current distribution will be as SHOWN
Now in loop ABCA, USING KVL we have,
`- 3Ri_(1)-4R(i_(1)-i_(2))+ 2Ri_(2)= 0`
`- 3Ri_(1)-4Ri_(i)+4Ri_(2) + 2Ri_(2)=0`
`7i_(1)=6i_(2)`
`rArr i_(1)=(6)/(7)i_(2)`
Also,`i_(1)+ i_(2)=i`
Hence, `((6)/(7)+1)i_(2)=i or i_(2)=(7)/(13)i`
`therefore i_(1)=(6)/(7)i_(2)=(6)/(7)XX(7)/(13)i rArr i_(1)= (6)/(13)i`
Now from loop ABDA (which includes cell ), we have, `3Ri_(1) +2Ri_(2) = V` (nearly because internal resistance in not taken in ACCOUNT)
`3Rxx(6)/(13)i+2Rxx(7)/(13)i=iR_(ed)`
`rArr R_(eq)= R ((18 +14)/(13))=(32)/(13)R`
For maximum power delivered to circuit, (internal resistancenof source )= external resistance)
`rArr 5 = (32R)/(13) or R=(13xx5)/(32)=203 Omega`
or `R = 2 Omega`

SOLUTION :`omega_0=1/sqrt(L_1C_1)=1/sqrt(L_2C_2)`
`therefore L_1C_1=L_2C_2`
`therefore LC=L_2(2C)`
`therefore L_2=(LC)/(2C)=L/2`

Determine the angular rotation velocity of an S_(2) molecule promoted to the first exccited rotational level if the distance between its nuclei is d= 189p m

Answer»

Solution :In the first EXCITED raotaional level `J=1`
so `E_(J)=1xx2( ħ^(2))/(2I)=(1)/(2)I omega^(2)` classically
Thus `omega= sqrt(2)( ħ)/(I)`
Now `I=Sigma m_(I)r_(i)^(2)=(m)/(2)(d^(2))/(4)+(m)/(2)(d^(2))/(4)=m(d^(2))/(4)`
where `m` is the mass of the mole CUB and `r_(i)` is the distance of the atom from the AXIS.
Thus
`omega=(4sqrt(2) ħ)/(md^(2))= 1.56xx10^(11) rad//s`

`30^(@)`
`45^(@)`
`90^(@)`

Solution :The FORCE ACTING on the particle

In electric dipole is placed in an electric field of a point charge, then........

Answer»

(A) the resultant force ACTING on the dipole is always zero.
(B) the resultant force acting on the dipole may be zero.
(c) TORQUE acting on it may be zero.
(D) torque acting on it is always zero.

Solution :Here, electric FIELD `E = (kq)/r^(2)` due to a q point charge is not uniform.
`therefore`Electric field at the position of +q and - q are not equal. Hence, resultant force is never zero, so option (A) and (B) are wrong. If dipole becomes parallel to electric field `vecE`,then angle between `vecp` and `vecE` will be 0°, so the torque acting on dipole `tau = pE sin 0^(@) =0`, but if `phi ne 0^(@)`,the torque will not be zero, so option (C) is correct.
